María Voth Velasco is the designer behind Turtlehorn. She deals with sustainable fashion, supports and integrates social projects in her work. She not only anticipates and works on her prospective collections, but also offers inclusive and culture-enhancing workshops to improve social and environmental stewardship. She was born and raised in Spain, spent part of her youth in Germany and completed her fashion design studies at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design (MAFAD) in the Netherlands in January 2020. Through numerous internships in the fields of graphics, fashion and manual trades, she combines these experiences through artistic art in her work. For her, fashion and art have always been close together, with overarching and symbiotic threads. The concepts are often implemented in the form of performances, presented illustratively or represented in the form, color and pattern of clothing. In her work, she places great emphasis on research and experimentation to achieve better results. It is a form of creative research where she examines the material in particular. In the creative process, it is very important to her to carry out many material, shape, color and technical experiments in order to come up with new design possibilities and to continue working and researching on the development of the product. They often work together with other people such as craftsmen, technicians or materials researchers for specific projects or collaborations.
